MONROEVILLE @ Black Bear Village: Join us at Black Bear Village this afternoon to enjoy Gatlinburg’s favorite local band, Monroeville!
Monroeville is named after Bill Monroe, the “Father of Bluegrass”. Inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. Mr. Monroe was recognized as an innovator and early influence inspiring many Rock artists. Monroeville is inspired to do the same. “I was determined to carve out a music of my own, I didn’t want to copy anybody.” – Bill Monroe
With one voice and an old guitar, Shaun Abbott can transform a room. His roots lie heavily in true, old-fashioned country: Hank Williams Jr., Waylon Jennings, and George Strait. At a young age he knew just what he wanted to do with his life and began playing the piano. Abbott didn’t stop there; he further taught himself how to play guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin and drums— all the while writing his own songs.
Everyone loves live music with Monroeville!
Live music on the mountain is FREE with the purchase of general admission. All events are weather dependent
